Frequent Nose Bleeding, Memory Loss, Difficulty In Concentration. Treatment?

my 15 year old son has had a frequent nose bleed for the past 3 weeks. Typically in the morning and leaving a trail of blood on his pillow.
He now complains of memory loss and said he feels like he has tunnel vision. Can't concentrate on things.
Numbness in his hands and head.
Was on acutane for 6 months!

Well I just saw the COST for this! I can pay to go to the doctor, will not need your services!!!!!!

Hi,

You have to take your son to a doctor - ENT specialist. Prolonged nose bleeds in an adolescent male along with symptoms of vision changes and other manifestations need to be thoroughly evaluated. I am not trying to give you a diagnosis or I am not trying to scare you; all I am saying is that you need to take your son sooner to an ENT so that he could do a proper clinical examination and some tests if required and recommend the right treatment.
